Bank of Valletta is launching a new six-year term Fund-Linked Deposit Account. Denominated in euros, the Fund-Linked Deposit Account is an innovative investment opportunity. It allows investors to combine capital protection with global stock market potential returns.

The Fund-Linked Deposit Account brings together the features of fixed interest rates and potential equity-fund returns. Fifty per cent of the deposit is set up as a step-up interest rate structure, paying an attractive rate of interest on each anniversary date, while the other 50 per cent is linked to a basket of equity-funds offering the opportunity to participate in the potential growth of global equity markets.

Investors can enter this new Fund-Linked Deposit Account with a minimum deposit of €5,000 and multiples of €1,000 thereafter. No entry fees are applicable for establishing a BOV Fund-Linked Deposit Account.

The Fund-Linked Deposit Account offers a guaranteed and attractive interest rate ranging from 2.250 per cent up to 4.000 per cent on 50 per cent of the deposit, if held until maturity. Interest on the remaining 50 per cent of the deposit is linked to 75 per cent of the performance of the basket of investment funds.

Full details are available in the product brochure, which is available at all Bank of Valletta branches in Malta and Gozo. Further information can also be obtained from the BOV Customer Service Centre on 2131 2020 or from the bank’s website www.bov.com.
